That's Jeremy Irons as von Bulow. The lawyer -- Alan Dershowitz -- is played by Ron Silver. (Unconscious, on the bathroom floor, playing Sunny, is Glenn Close.)

Von Bulow was convicted, and Dershowitiz won the appeal that got him a new trial. He was then acquitted. Where is he now?

Claus von Bulow is living in London, "mostly taking care of his grandchildren," said Alan Dershowitz, the defense lawyer who won his acquittal at the second trial.

"It's a sad ending to a sad tragedy that some people tried to turn into a crime," Dershowitz said. "I hope this finally will put to an end to this terrible tragedy."...

Claus von Bulow's main accusers were his wife's children by a previous marriage, Princess Annie Laurie von Auersperg Kniessl and Prince Alexander von Auersperg. They renewed the charges against their stepfather in a civil lawsuit a month after his acquittal.

Two years later, Claus von Bulow agreed to give up any claims to his wife's estimated $25 million-to-$40 million fortune and to the $120,000-a-year income of a trust she set up for him. He also agreed to divorce her, leave the country and never profit from their story.

What do Claus von Bulow, O.J. Simpson, Michael Jackson and Robert Blake have in common?

They could all afford a really good lawyer. And they were all acquitted (though O.J. was stupid enough to commit another crime after he had been bled dry by years of living on very little income and having to give anything that showed up beyond basic living expenses to Fred Goldman).

Meanwhile, the large majority of cases in which an innocent person has been cleared by DNA or other evidence after spending years in prison also have one thing in common: either they were represented by a public defender, or they paid for a lawyer but could not afford a very good one.

1) Don't murder, you piece of shit.2) Don't steal, you loser.3) Don't kidnap, you lowlife.4) Don't rape, you fucker.5) Don't molest children in any fashion, you absolute lowest of the low, you living demonstration of both evolution's and the major religions' most marked, shared failure. (Stand-by secularists et al are even worse, and make no mistake.)7) Don't obfuscate with the sole intent to ameliorate any one of the above.

Bonus advice: Don't pollute basic shit with partisan puke. That way leads not just to major headache, but also to cancer.

Imagine...being in a coma since Jimmy Carter was president....there was a war in Afghanistan...we had big problems with Iran...the US economy was in bad shape..Chrysler asked the US goverment for $1 billion to avoid bankruptcy...
